MOTS-C
From$55.00
MOTS-C (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA and studied for its reported role as a regulator of cellular metabolic homeostasis. Research interest in MOTS-C centers on its ability to translocate to the nucleus under metabolic stress and activate the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) pathway, a mechanism frequently associated with exercise-mimetic and metabolic-adaptation research models. Peptides7 sources MOTS-C exclusively from 99 Purity Peptides, with independent third-party testing confirming ≥99% purity on every batch.
Research Use Only. This compound is intended strictly for laboratory research and development purposes. It is explicitly not for human consumption, diagnostic purposes, or veterinary use.
MOTS-C is supplied as a lyophilized powder in 10mg and 40mg vial sizes, each carrying a unique batch number tied to an independently issued Certificate of Analysis.
Reconstitution should be performed with bacteriostatic or sterile water under standard aseptic laboratory technique, consistent with handling protocols for other research peptides in this catalog.
As a mitochondrially-encoded micropeptide, MOTS-C is supplied in relatively small molar quantities per milligram; researchers should account for its low molecular weight (~2174 Da) when calculating molar concentrations for assay design.
Compound FAQs
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA, studied for its reported role in activating the AMPK pathway and regulating cellular metabolic homeostasis.
Research models report that MOTS-C levels increase with exercise and that the peptide can activate AMPK signaling — a pathway central to cellular energy regulation — making it a peptide of interest in exercise-mimetic research.
MOTS-C is available in 10mg and 40mg vials, each offered as a Single unit, 5-Kit, or 10-Kit.
Every batch is tested by an independent third-party laboratory using HPLC for purity and LC-MS for molecular identity, with results documented in a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water using standard aseptic technique. Store the lyophilized vial frozen or refrigerated away from light, and refrigerate after reconstitution per your protocol's stability requirements.
Because MOTS-C is encoded within mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA, it is studied as a unique signaling link between mitochondrial function and nuclear gene expression — a mechanism distinct from most nuclear-encoded research peptides.
Yes. Each vial is printed with a unique batch number that can be cross-referenced to retrieve that batch's specific test results.
